Glass Half Full II: Pattern Release + Giveaway!
Late last year, I got the invitation to design a quilt with the new 2015 Cotton + Steel fabrics. The invite came from none other than . . . Craftsy! Of course, I said “Yes!” I received the fabric for this quilt around the holidays and stitched it up the first couple weeks of January. Now that the quilt kit is LIVE on Craftsy, I am happy to show it off!
I stitched up this quilt top on my Baby Lock Melody and and quilted it on my Tiara II (with my favorite free-motion rectangles pattern). It is completely luxurious to have so much room to move my quilt around without rolling it into a tightly wound burrito.
Glass Half Full II (a 65″ x 89″ twin-sized quilt), is available as a kit from Craftsy. I chose my favorite prints from the early 2015 Cotton + Steel collections. This was, of course, excruciating to narrow it down to just 15 prints. Because C+S fabrics play so well together, everything looked good. The kit features my faves from:
– Melody Miller’s Playful collection
– Rashida Coleman-Hale’s Mochi collection
– Alexia Abegg’s Mesa collection
– Kim Kight’s Cookie Book collection
– Sarah Watts’s Tokyo Train Ride collection
Isn’t is so cool how well these fabrics from 5 different collections work together? The binding is a navy blue text print. If you’d like, you can even pick up 5 1/2 yards of gorgeous, navy-blue C+S backing fabric to go with this quilt kit!

I resized and modified my crib-sized quilt
of the same name and completely revamped the instructions to make it more straight-forward and to make the best use of the materials. It comes with full-size templates, assembly
diagrams, and tutorial-style color photos to guide you step by step. My friend Mary designed the cover, templates and pattern, so it looks really fabulous.

I’m giving away 3 PDF copies of the new Glass Half Full II quilt pattern. Good luck!
